  1. [quote name='redstriper' post='423774' date='Mar 2 2009, 10:57 PM']That looks like my kinda bass and if it's still there next time I'm in town late April, I'd like to give it a try.[/quote] Buy it so I can try it! I cannot possibly justify this, but I would love to try and then persuade myself that I need it. I don't need it. I fancy it. This place is lethal.
  2. I wish you lived closer to me.
  3. So we are talking (in a good way, obv) "I seem to have travelled back in time and my bass is making a dull kind of 'thunk' sound" here. I am not trying to de-rail the thread, I really do mean that as a compliment.

    Write your settings down. No, really!

  6. Bottom B on a DB is cool. End of.

    I know that there are people out there denying their lust for this bass. Don't fight it people. Want it you know you do.
  9. [quote name='4000' post='417971' date='Feb 23 2009, 10:39 PM']Oh if only this was a UL502....unfortunately it's probably a bit over the top for me too.[/quote] More is more. You knows it.
  10. [quote name='Kev' post='417899' date='Feb 23 2009, 09:41 PM']possible silly question, but do you know how the volume knob/battery/pickup would connect up??[/quote] I know how to put a jack plug into my bass. Anything more than that and I have to pay someone. Sorry, I have no idea!
  11. [quote name='ThePackage' post='417901' date='Feb 23 2009, 09:42 PM']Hey, sorry I dont normally do forums and stuff. What else should I have added?[/quote] £?
  12. East MM Bass + Treble I bought this from OBBM when it came up an hour after I had decided to buy an ACG/East pre. Dave was selling it for a price I could not turn down. You know how GAS is. However I have decided to go the whole hog and get an ACG so this is going back out. I paid £45 inc shipping so it is yours for the same. Original thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36726&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36726&hl=[/url] Want it you know you do.
  13. Yep that works, thanks for your work. Unfortunately it has confirmed that I need one as well.
  14. I had them build me a bass years ago, and everytime I phoned for 5 years after Martin greeted me by name on the phone. I went down and left my wife in Camden market - she got bored and followed me to the Gallery. Martin made her a coffee sat her down in a corner. She loves it there too They no longer get my business because I have a OCD level of checking the for sale forums here, but if I need to buy new then it's to them I go.
  15. [quote name='simon1964' post='416151' date='Feb 21 2009, 02:04 PM']I honestly can't remember! I know I paid a bit extra for a solid top if that helps? Owen - great tip on selling the case. I only ever use the soft padded case, so may well follow your student's precedent and put the hard case on e-bay.[/quote] If you need cardboard to ship it then go to Halfords - they love getting rid of bike boxes.
  16. [quote name='GreeneKing' post='416178' date='Feb 21 2009, 03:04 PM']They are working okay, just checked. They may take a while. Has anyone else had problems. Any recommendations for a better sound file host? Peter[/quote] It's been connecting for 30 mins for me now It is probabaly just me. Ho hum.
  17. [quote name='Beedster' post='416034' date='Feb 21 2009, 10:55 AM']'69 sold. '73 fretless will stay or go depending on how i get on with the Wal (although there are two buyers lined up). Chris[/quote] <Owen walks back through to the sitting room whispering a quiet "phew" and putting his cheque book away>
  18. I am VERY interested in this, but the links do not actually load to sound. Is it me? Is it something I said?
  19. I have had 3 through my hands for pupils. New strings and a lower bridge and they are great. The first student even sold her hard case for £180 on Ebay. Will you be playing the classical solo repertoire on one in a nearby concert hall soon? No. Will it go Thud/thump/growl for all other types of music? Yes. Two have been ply and one has been solid. Figure in the price of a pick up and you are good to go.
  20. I'll take the La Bellas and the older Thoms if they are still there. Paypal? [quote name='chrkelly' post='411125' date='Feb 16 2009, 02:27 PM']It's time to clear out the string drawer (again)! [u]All cut for a Fender headstock[/u] 2 sets of Thomastik jazz flats, one well used for over a year, one much newer - £10 & £15 La Bella deep talkin' 760FM - used for about a month but too much tension for me. Sound amazingly deep - £10 [u]double bass strings[/u] Thomastik Belcantos - only on my bass for about a week. Great dark strings, I'm keeping the G D - £20 A - £30 extended E - £35 Pirastro evah pirazzi extended E - £35[/quote]

    [quote name='Stockholm Syndrome' post='406100' date='Feb 11 2009, 11:10 AM']That seems like an awesome price for a cool instrument! Are these built in the US?[/quote] Yes, they were built in the US. No longer made so it is officially a vintage piece
